Name labels for care homes and adults
When laundry is washed together, labelled clothes are the ones that find their way back. Label an entire wardrobe in minutes — the labels are self-adhesive, iron-free and survive 60° washing and tumble drying.

Before the move to a care home
In an elder care home, clothes are usually washed together for the whole ward, and unlabelled garments easily go missing. It is almost always a family member who is asked to label everything before moving day. Label every garment that goes to the laundry with a full name — that way the favourite cardigan finds its way back to the right wardrobe every time.
The home may be called a nursing home, care home or assisted living — the need is the same: a clear name and labels that survive the laundry. Order well before moving day and add a few extra labels, because new clothes always arrive.
What should be labelled? A short moving-day checklist
Go through the wardrobe together well before moving day. This is what usually needs labelling:
- Everyday clothes — tops, trousers and cardigans that go to the laundry every week
- Nightwear and underwear that are washed often
- Outerwear, hats and gloves
- Shoes and slippers
- Glasses cases, hearing-aid cases and other small items
- Walking stick, rollator basket and bags
The same name label works on both clothes and hard surfaces, so a single order covers the whole list.
Name labels for adults — not just for kids
Name labels are associated with preschool, but the need doesn't stop there. Work clothes laundered at work, gym clothes in the sports bag, the jacket at the office or laundry in a shared student-housing laundry room — adults lose things too.
In the configurator you choose the typeface, colours and artwork yourself. Keep the label clean and minimal or make it warm and personal — the same label works on clothes, lunchboxes and other belongings.
Dementia care: label everything from day one
In a dementia care home it isn't enough to label what goes to the laundry — clothes and belongings easily move between rooms. Label everything from the first day: clothes, shoes, glasses cases and bags. Clear name labels with a full name make everyday life easier for the staff and safer for residents and family alike.
Group homes and supported living
The same applies wherever the laundry room and storage are shared — in group homes and supported-living housing. A personal colour and icon on the label also makes it easier to recognise your own clothes, so the labelling becomes a help in everyday life rather than just a tag for the staff.
Short-term and respite care
For short-term stays, respite care or a longer hospital visit, the bag is often packed at the last minute. Keep a set of labelled clothes ready, and everything comes back home again.
Questions from families
How many name labels are needed when moving into a care home?
Expect to label most of the wardrobe — often 40–60 garments, plus shoes and personal belongings. The configurator shows exactly how many labels fit per sheet, and it's wise to order a few extra for clothes that arrive later.
Do the labels survive the home's shared laundry?
They survive 60° washing and tumble drying without peeling or fading. Does the home wash hotter than that? Ask the staff how the laundry is handled before labelling garments that need special care.
Will the labels arrive before moving day?
We print on Öland and ship within a couple of working days — home in 3–10 working days with free shipping in Sweden. Order as soon as you have a moving date.
Do I need an iron to attach them?
No. The labels are self-adhesive and iron-free — press them on and hold for a couple of seconds. Labelling an entire wardrobe is an evening's work.
Do the labels stick to shoes and mobility aids too?
Yes. The labels are made for clothes and belongings — they stick just as well to shoes, walking sticks, glasses cases and the edge of a rollator basket as to a cardigan.
Do I need an account to order?
No account needed. Design the labels in the configurator, order, and have them delivered with free shipping — the whole order takes under five minutes.
